Error when printing a report: "Unable to load client print control"
This error relates to a required Microsoft Active X control which in
most cases is automatically installed when the print button is clicked.
If appropriate administrator rights are absent from the account the user
will see the above error.
To fix this, either apply administrator rights to automatically download
and install Active X objects or if that's not possible, download
the "RSClientPrint.cab" file to
install the Active X onto the machine. For 64Bit systems download the
RSClientPrint-x64.cab file
More on this
In some schools IT policies do not grant admin privileges to end users. So end users running on the client computers can not download and install the ActiveX print client file RSClientPrint.cab. If you extract the contents of the RSClientPrint.cab file you will see that the .cab file consists of the following files:
rsclientprint.dll
RSClientPrint-x86.inf
rsclientprint_1028.rll
rsclientprint_1031.rll
rsclientprint_1033.rll
rsclientprint_1036.rll
rsclientprint_1040.rll
rsclientprint_1041.rll
rsclientprint_1042.rll
rsclientprint_1046.rll
rsclientprint_1049.rll
rsclientprint_1053.rll
rsclientprint_2052.rll
rsclientprint_3082.rll
Copy all the files listed above into the folder C:\WINNT\system32 for client computers.
Register the rsclientprint.dll file by running the regsvr32.exe command on the command prompt shown as below.
c:\regsvr32.exe /s
c:\winnt\system32 \rsclientprint.dll (rsclientprint64.dll for 64Bit)
If you need a start script that copies the listed files above and registers the rsclientprint.dll please download this example and edit if necessary: rsclientprintExample or rsclientprintExample for 64Bit
PLEASE TEST CAREFULLY BEFORE DEPLOYING.
